Cool, thanks for the reply.  Got everything the way I wanted it working.

If I wanted to allow an addon to change a player's run speed how would I go about doing this?  From what I can tell I would want to change (in terrortown/gamemode)

   -- Change some gmod defaults
   ply:SetCanZoom(false)
   ply:SetJumpPower(160)
   ply:SetSpeed(false)
   ply:SetCrouchedWalkSpeed(0.3)

but I also don't know much about lua, and can't tell if TTT has locked the player speed somewhere else.  Also would I want to do ply:SetRunSpeed or ply:SetWalkSpeed in my addon?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.
